    A former standout high school swimmer from the Miles River Yacht Club has just achieved a world record. Nik Haynes, a 1996 graduate of St. Michaels High School, swam the backstroke across the English channel faster than anyone has before.

    The English channel is 21 miles at its narrowest point from England to France. Haynes completed the swim in 12 hours, 52 minutes, and 41 seconds last Friday, August 7. And in doing so, he raised well over $5,000 for WaterAid, an organization that provides clean water and sanitation in countries worldwide.

  • 5 Common Stroke Mistakes That Cause Shoulder Pain | Instant Fix?

    There are 3 common technique errors that lead to shoulder injuries in swimmers, and by doing these three drills I’m about to show you, you’ll never have to sit on the sidelines again due to shoulder pain caused by bad technique

    In 2000, a study was conducted by Toshimasa Yanai and James Hay called ‘Shoulder Impingement in front crawl swimming: Analysis in Stroke technique’, and what they found was interesting…to say the least. With 3D videography, they were able to determine what movements in freestyle lead to shoulder impingement. And this is something we’ve seen at clinics for the last 6 years after working with thousands of swimmers, that very often, a change in technique, even small, can significantly reduce shoulder pain, or in many cases, eliminate the issue altogether.

    In this video, I’ll share what those 3 technique errors are in plain and simple English, and the two ADDITIONAL stroke errors that I think were missing from this study.
